Works great now! Thanks a bunch!

Dear Alan Richey,

Even though the double register problem is fixed, I'm still having trouble using the "language" button. I see in your previous post that you assigned the "language" button to the white button (next to blue one), but when I tried pressing it on Slingbox.com, all the color buttons seem faded out and unpressable, including the white one. Could you please have a look at it? Or am I neglecting something?

If you're going to remap the buttons, could you please assign language to the blue button? because I don't see a white button on my iPad Slingplayer nor on my SlingCatcher remote and blue seems to be on every remote. The language button is the same as the pound/number sign button on the MOD remote. Thank you!

Sorry, on a cruise at the moment, will check when I get back

Are you using a Mac ? This is notorious for not enabling the colour buttons. If so can you borrow a PC and use that to install it ?

[78904321]

Hi Alan,

Thank you for getting back to me. I hope you had a great time on the cruise.

I am actually using a PC and I used it to install the bin files. I attach here a pic that shows what I am talking about with the faded color buttons. Thank you.

[alanrichey]

I can't explain that, I just uploaded the BIN file at
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=11592 and all the colour buttons were enabled.

What settings are you selecting during the setup ?

[78904321]

Country: Taiwan
Video Source: Composite
Test Remote: Miscellaneous, Custom, then upload your PL.bin file.
Program Guide: Skip
Internet Viewing: Works and Portforwarded

The color buttons with the updated bin still don't work, still faded out. I'm suspecting it's just Sling programmers didn't do their job right. They're making it too difficult for end users to figure out how to configure the color buttons, if they were supposed to work at all.

Here is my alternative solution: Is it possible that you assign the # (language) to a button that's rather useless to me? Such the Page Up button? because I never use it. Since Page buttons are enabled on the Slingremote, I figured that might be easier to work with, just replace the Up with #(language).

Sorry about the back and forth inquiries. Thank you for your kind help.

[alanrichey]

No, it's you selecting Miscellaneous. Try running the setup but specifying Cable Box. That should activate the Colour buttons ?

[78904321]

Oh MY! It's working now! what a shame for my stupid mistake! I didn't know there was "custom" for categories other than miscellaneous. Thank you so much for all your help and troubleshooting.

Can I ask you another question? I have 10MB upload speed from my Slingbox Solo in Taiwan but I only have ~1200 kbps streaming rate at the remote end. Even though latency is expected as there is 7000 miles between the two ends, as well as the nature of TCP protocol, I was expecting something better than 1200 kbps since 10MB is a really fast upload speed. I read somewhere that a Pro HD would have higher streaming output, does that mean the Solo was designed to cap at the speed just enough for SD viewing? Even then, I have been experiencing a lot of frame drops during fast motion scenes such as sport shows, which is quite disappointing. Any suggestions other than getting the Pro HD/500/350?

Thank you once again.

Sorry, I am the world's leading expert in Sling Virtual Remotes but the rest of it is a mystery You need t ask that sort of question on the support forum.

Dear alanrichey,

hi, I'm from Taiwan, I need some help for slingbox remote setting, I search on google, and downloaded 2 remote files u made . I already set it up on slingbox, but there is a problem. these files [Kbro Hyundai Digital Technology digital set top box (DSTB)] and [Chunghwa MOD 303] are different titles but same file names. after i setup at slingbox, i found it work fine individually. but first remote will not function if i setup second remote. how can i make both remote work ? thank u for ur kindness help.

[alanrichey]

As you have found out, you cannot install 2 BIN files with the same code. All you need to do is to recompile one of them using a different code number. I have done the Chunghwa one for you, using 2011. It's over at http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=13552

[bless071]

finally get it work, it's working fine now. thank u so much!!!

[alanrichey]

Good, glad to help.
